VIA DO PICO, ALVARO J. VEGA & MASSIMILIANO DEMATTEIS Instituto de Botanica del Nordeste (UNNE-CONICET), Casilla de Correo 209, CP 3400 Corrientes, Argentina (Received 11 August 2015; accepted 3 November 2015) Floral microcharacters of the genus Chrysolaena H. Rob. (Vernonieae, Asteraceae) were analysed in detail for the first time in order to evaluate the taxonomic position of conflictive species in the group. The results were also compared with studies carried out in species of related genera. In addition to distinctive microcharacters previously studied in some species of the genus, other characters such as trichome types of the corolla, style, anthers and cypselae have been analysed for the first time. The presence of glandular apical appendage and cypselae are common characteristics among species Chrysolaena.In addition to these, this study shows that presence of glands on the style and corollas is another consistent characteristic in the genus. However, the absence of basal stylar node would not be a diagnostic character since this varies widely among species. The results indicate that most of the microcharacters of Chrysolaena analysed are quite consistent in the genus, but they are no more consistent than the pollen morphology (type ’C’) and chromosome base number (x D 10). Until now, these last two features would be most useful for separating Chrysolaena from the related genera Lessingianthus and Lepidaploa. At species level, the results show that related species can be distinguished by the different combinations of floral microcharacters. The value of microcharacters could be increased if they are combined with other morphological, cytological, and palynological data.

Since the publication of Kress et al.’s plant check- list in 2003, new and unrecorded species have been constantly reported by various botanists, but much of Myan- mar’s flora requires more intensive examinations. We conducted joint floristic surveys of several Ywangan areas, including the Panlaung-Pyadalin Cave Wildlife Sanctuary in southern Shan State of Myanmar. The initial identification of seed plant specimens collected from three short floristic expeditions revealed that 23 species were newly recorded species in Myanmar. More than half of these were found to be geographically notable spe- cies, which are known to be endemic to neighboring countries such as China (4 spp.), Thailand (6 spp.), and India (2 spp.). A considerable number of these unrecorded species are distributed in the limestone areas of neighboring countries, reflecting the geological characteristics of the survey area.

This study is aimed at providing a critical review of the pharmacological properties, phytochemistry, and medicinal uses of B. adoensis. Documented information on the pharmacological properties, phytochemistry, and medicinal uses of B. adoensis was collected from several online sources which included Scopus, Google Scholar, PubMed and Science Direct. Additional information on the pharmacological properties, phytochemistry, and medicinal uses of B. adoensis was gathered from pre-electronic sources such as book chapters, books, journal articles, and scientific publications sourced from the university library. The articles published between 1962 and 2020 were used in this study. This study showed that the roots, flowers, stems, and leaves of B adoensis are widely used as ethnoveterinary medicine and traditional medicines for backbone pain, reproductive problems, kidney diseases, fever and febrile complaints, wounds, ulcers, sexually transmitted infections, skin complaints, malaria, gastro-intestinal problems and respiratory problems. Phytochemical compounds identified from the species include alkaloids, carbohydrates, chondrillasterol, flavonoids,

MOENCH SEED EXTRACT FOR ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITIES Ved Prakash* and Anand Sagar Department of Biosciences, Himachal Pradesh University, Shimla, (H.P.) 171005, India *Corresponding Author Email: vedp685@gmail.com ABSTRACT Use of herbal remedies is on the rise in developed and developing countries. Plant kingdom is a gold mine for novel and affordable antimicrobial and antioxidant compounds. The medicinal properties of plants are due to metabolites especially secondary compounds produced by plant species around the globe. The current study was designed to investigate the seed extract of Baccharoides anthelmintica (L.) Moench for its antibacterial and antioxidant activities. The antibacterial activity of the acetone, aqueous and methanol seed extracts was determined in-vitro against medically important pathogens such as Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Yersinia pestis by agar-well diffusion method using different concentrations (25%, 50%, 75% and 100%). Results showed low to significant antibacterial activity against the mentioned pathogenic bacterial species. The methanol extract of B. anthelmintica showed maximum zone of inhibition (20.40±0.68 mm) in the growth of L. monocytogenes which was followed by P. aeruginosa (19.10±1.77 mm), S. aureus (18.55±2.20 mm), E. coli (16.00±0.60 mm) and Y. pestis (16.00±0.00 mm) at 100% of its concentration respectively.

This study analyses the potential of Vernonia anthelmintica (L.) Willd., an anti- diabetic plant used in traditional medicine in inhibiting Aldose reductase. Aldose reductase inhibition(ARI) assay, IC50, kinetic analysis, specificity and cytotoxicity studies were performed with the methanolic extract of V. anthelmintica seeds. The sub-fractions obtained on column chromatography and HPTLC were studied for their ARI potential. The ethyl acetate fraction of V. anthelmintica exhibited promising AR inhibition against both goat lens AR and recombinant human AR. The inhibition was of uncompetitive type implying its advantage in hyperglucose conditions. The extract did not considerably influence goat liver aldehyde reductase and showed no toxicity to normal cells at minimum inhibitory doses. The results project the possibility of developing new lead ARI molecules from V.

    AECOM Final Report Environment 4-1 4.0 ECOLOGY AND BIODIVERSITY 4.1 Introduction This chapter describes the ecological features on the route and in the immediate vicinity of the Bosphorus Third Bridge and Northern Marmara Motorway and identifies the potential effects that the scheme will have on ecological receptors in the area. Proposals for mitigation are described and the residual impacts of the Project are discussed. 4.2 Ecological Impact Assessment This chapter provides an assessment of the potential effects on sensitive ecological receptors of the Project. It identifies and assesses the potential construction and operational impacts of the development and formulates an appropriate mitigation strategy. In summary, the scope of this assessment is to: • Provide baseline ecological data on the proposed road alignment corridor; • Examine and analyse these data with regard to the proposed development; • Identify the significance of any potential direct/indirect impact on the ecology of the proposed development site and its immediate environs; and • Identify appropriate and effective means of mitigating the potential adverse impacts arising from the construction and operation of the proposed Bosporus Third Bridge and Northern Marmara Motorway and associated infrastructure. Impacts have been evaluated and assessed through using information derived from desk based studies and from site specific field surveys. Loss and/or fragmentation of habitats, focusing on potential impacts on important habitats and species has been considered within this assessment. 4.3 Methods 4.3.1 Scope of Assessment This section summarizes the methods adopted for ecological desk study, habitat and protected species surveys. The general approach taken is a modified version of the guidelines published by the Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (IEEM), July 2006.
